Last time I check God wants us to be holy not happy.. That's why righteous are to be burn in the fire of humiliation and suffering to be clean cause gold is melt in fire to make it shine and clean off dirt which is just like sin...leading to character building and less about accumulating accomplishements like Lucifer who said "I will do thos,I will do that " Etc. cause it should be less about us the ego and more about the other person.. We should keep ourself low but keep the other high... Cause what's important for us true Christians is to prepare ourselves for the kingdom of God to be as white as snow and stop distracting ourselves with this world which is temporary including wanting to be happy in this world... You should concentrate more on how to cleanse yourself of wanting to build yourself up here in this temporary home or prepare yourself for the coming kingdom of God

Another thought that relates to what was said in this video is that there's no sense in worrying or stressing about your future because God is fully in control and the only things that happen in your life are what he allows. More than that, there are things that absolutely matter that have to do with eternity and then there are temporal things that won't have any value at all when we stand before God or in eternity. So, why worry? People worry because they're more interested in what people think than in what God thinks. If you stop caring about your life in this world and live as though the only real thing in the world is eternity and all this stuff we see is really just The Matrix, then everything we're doing in this world becomes like a video game and the real things that matter are what we do spiritually.

At 32 now I lost everything and had to move back home with my Grandparents. I was really upset and I felt like a failure. All of my friends have homes and families and I felt like I just lost my way. When the Pandemic happened I started drinking a lot to get through the days because I felt like I was at such a dead end in my life. God sent me many signs so that He could communicate with me. I listened and rather than feeling like a failure, I began to understand I am exactly where I’m meant to be. My Grandparents are 90+ and need me here for them. He brought me home to help them, and in turn gave me the opportunity to save my money rather than drowning in bills. I learned that what I thought was failure, was actually a huge blessing. Now I am out of my debt and saving for a house while my Grandparents are doing well and I am perfectly content living at home being right where I am supposed to be. God is good.

Bruh the one part where you said "Godliness and contentment" just struck me. It massively explained what it means to be happy in a simplified way. I'm in my third year studying a 5-year course. Earlier today i was talking with a friend about how impending our final year is. How after that, life begins. The pressure began to weigh heavily on me. Since that moment, I've been so anxious... about nothing. i just felt worried. which is not a feeling i should carry around on my birthday [today]. I began thinking of ways to make money and even started considering a get-rich-quick scheme that some of my friends are into but that i know the Holy Spirit is warning me against. But after hearing those words. I felt that peace again. That peace from knowing that God is in control. Up till this very day, my life has been full of proofs of His faithfulness. Even for making me see another birthday. In many instances in my life i hear God tell me "This was not chance. I put you here". And i believe the same God that got me here this day will get me to that glorious destiny He has planned. Thanks for the amazing content.

Wow. The Holy Spirit led me HERE! I LITERALLY just got this understanding recently in my own life…it’s like I’m looking thru new eyes about the SAME EVERYTHING. Nothing changed except my mind and heart. The Lord touched my heart in the same way and I’m FINALLY able to see where I have gone wrong in my view. If ur a believer, who loves the Lord, EVERY SINGLE THING He has provided for u is with purpose. Every single thing that happens is with purpose. He is all sovereign ESPECIALLY in the life of the believer! I glory in the very things that I was questioning. Now I see HIS GLORIOUS HAND in all of it!! I have never been more full of ACTUAL joy and ACTUAL peace - these aren’t just scriptural goals but REALITIES when u surrender ALL to the Lord!! AAAANNNDD I HAVENT WORRIED ABOUT A SINGLE THING SINCE I submitted my mind, heart, body, life to Christ. TRUST IN CHRIST IS THE ANSWER TO ANXIETY. ALL GLORY TO THE ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD AND OUR FIRST LOVE JESUS CHRIST!! May He bless and keep you brothers and sister 🙏🏽💙!

God always provide what we need. I had a very bad experience with a relative that made me believe that they were proud of what I have done with my life. But, she was lying. I didnt need her to agree with what I have accomplished. We were talking about the cost of living n how everything has gone up. God, the Holy Spirit n myself got me in what I felt was a nice place to live. I was Homeless in my car. No fault of my own. She ask me about my rent n I told her how humble I am that God put me in the right place with the right people who was interested in helping me. I know God put me here. I could not do it on my own. She shot my place down in a very negative way. Never offered to help me. Your video help me out alot and the other comments. First time seein it. Thanks

Thank you for sharing this. When it comes to life, whether it's our family, finances, relationships, or anything else, gratitude is the absolute key to finding deep and lasting contentment. When we only look at the empty part of the glass, we forget that it's half-full...and that's a big deal. I remember a few years ago my mind wandering when it was raining. I was thinking just how incredible it is that the very thing we are desperate for, that we take for granted until we don't have it, water, actually falls from the sky. What a gift!!

This has been a central message from God I the season I’m in. My life is not about being happy with my circumstances or situations but having Joy in Christ always not matter what the situation/circumstance. Those will always change but Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever!

Thank you for reminding me to get back to the basics! This was literally what I needed to hear right now because there has been this overwhelming pressure to perform, to apply for jobs, to get married, to be somewhere else….whew! So much pressure! The funny thing is, God has blessed & sustained me this entire pandemic! I’m on the road to meeting my own personal goals too but I’ve been blessed to be a blessing to so many people during this time! I’m definitely going to start diving back into my word because when I was fasting, praying & spent much less time worrying about my life…things were just peaceful. I was content with my portion & totally living life in my own terms. My time & other people’s time is NOT Gods. My grandfather use to remind me of the ecclesiastical text where God reminds us that there is a TIME for everything under the sun! So in closing, today, I’m going to choose to be content & STAY planted. God will move me, give me a new job/location or husband when it’s HIS TIME.

You've just helped me see things from a different perspective and I thank God I have this job. It's been so instrumental in me becoming debt free, saving more money than I ever have and helping my parents along the way. I need to shift my focus to all the good things this job has been doing for me and my family and take my focus off the negatives. Afterall, the only reason I'm still here despite the battle I've been wrestling with in this job is because of Christ Jesus. May God bless you and your family.

I love this! This mindset literally helped me through a hard season. I began to be grateful even with tears in my eyes. I choose to live everyday grateful because I cannot thank God enough for this revelation of gratitude and contentment. Thanks for the scripture too. A lot of times we only quote Phil4:13. But I feel like I totally understand that scripture even more. Thanks!! Blessings to you and your family.

Ho my friend! Are you willing to be cast into the lake of fire for keeping Sunday, Christmas, Easter, your birthday, fathers day, mothers day, independence day, Lent, Advent season, etc? The Roman catholic church forbids their priests (people) from marrying. Many times, you hear them say people should not eat red meat like beef. God created sheep, bulls, goats, doves, pigeons, quails, grasshoppers, locusts, fish with fins and scales to be received with thanksgiving. King Jesus Christ never ate swine's flesh, the mouse or any other abomination. Are you following: the true Jesus or another Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4)? the true gospel or another gospel? the Holy Ghost or another spirit? The word of God must be rightly divided.

Wooow this is so good. God spoke to me through this message. I’ve was feeling unfulfilled and unhappy at my jobs and I’ve been wanting to start and grow my business but I’m at the jobs I am in this season so that I can get out of debt and get a vehicle and serve God’s people. I was able to fight the enemy from clouding my thoughts and continue to be grateful and content. A much needed reminder. Thank you.

In other words, "seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things (food, clothing, shelter, etc) will be given to you." Not easy words to follow, especially when one is in need. Especially if that need has persisted for a long time. (I could tell you all about that.) Nevertheless He is faithful. And His faithfulness is one aspect of Him that only time can reveal, no matter how you may try to believe it initially. It's only with hindsight, after decades have passed, and you look back and realise, "He has never let me down, even when I let myself down, even when I deliberately and knowingly let myself down. Still He is faithful." I've been finding this out recently. Finding out that right at the point when I thought, "how can there be any hope for me now? There He was, showing me that the connection between myself and Him is unbreakable. It cannot be overcome. He is so wonderful.

You just learned what most people never learn in a lifetime...and if they do, they are much older than you. Praise the Lord for His wise counsel and guidance.

Hey! Today I've kept on seeing and hearing "you are living inside one of your answered prayers" randomly, almost 4 times. Then this video randomly came up and I had this strong urge to watch it.

This video came right on time. This was in my recommended, so I believe that I needed to see this. I show gratitude everyday and do my best to serve Gods will and fulfill my purpose. I’m currently 22, graduated college about a year ago and even though I don’t have a job, I was able to start a LLC, still have ways of income and through experience, I’m learning the best ways to manage my finances. There’s a lot that I want, especially moving to a beautiful home, expanding my business, and my dream car, yet I have learned that there are seasons and I’ll have all that when the time is right. Thank you for sharing this Jereme!

So true! After 2007 being laid off of a great job. I had a hard time adjusting to this new place. I complained and murmured about the new job. The drive and structure (strictness). I would be depressed on the weekends. It led to be being very anti-social and weight-gain. The Lord finally got through to me stop complaining. He wanted me there. 10 years later. I learned to stop being negative and be thankful and grateful. Now I work remote and don't have to go into an office. I learned to not only speak positive - I learn to speak good things at the beginning of my day. So, when I want to go to the negative. I remember....

You have shared some wonderful insight! Thank you for the courage to share this and your willingness to represent Christ. Your testimony is powerful and it opposes popular culture. In your toxic environment, you discovered peace and gratitude. You realize that your battle is not against flesh and blood. That is the part that often alludes me and causes me so much anxiety. It is important for us to know that having toxic people in our environment is not the problem. Things only become a problem when the toxic environments penetrate our hearts so that we begin to focus on the people (flesh and blood.) as the problem. In those instances, We lose our perspective and our contentment. So glad you found your way! I pray I can do the same in all circumstances.

Feels good to be reminded of something this simple but profound. It’s not easy but just applying it to our daily life day by day change will definitely come. Thank you 😊

"...I was so focused on escaping that reality, when God was calling me to be grateful for my reality...be grateful for the season that I was in." "...being happy & being content...it's not a destination, it is a journey, it's a llifestyle. I choose to be happy with the job that God has provided for me, so I can get out of debt. I choose to be happy because God has given me the brain to learn the skills that I need, to improve my current situation. I choose to be happy even when I'm not happy, because God is my strength." "I realize I didn't need more, I just needed to manage what I had- better, including my time, talent, & my money." "...my mind have shifted to focus on what God had put in front of me, instead trying to escape a job, which was the very tool that was helping me get out of debt, put food on the table, save up, and reach my other financial goals." "Instead of trying to escape, I'm trying to become grateful. Be grateful for what I have, be grateful for where I'm at & the season that I'm in."

Describes me basically to a T. Then I realized I always say to myself " I always thought I was gonna have to wait until after I had passed to be living kind of how I am today" but im still chasing ( the American dream) and haven t really stopped yet to be appreciative or grateful like youre talking about. I mean I haven't let anything sink in and im already off running towards the next great thing...so thanks for the video. Its something I also was praying about.."for direction..should I leave the toxic environment?" And I feel like the answer is. Let it sink in what God has done for me here so far in life. Thanks for the help. Blessings.

My wife has been telling me this for a long time. Honestly, it’s not what I want to hear... but I acknowledge that doesn’t mean I don’t still need to hear it. I hate my job; been trying to escape for a year and a half. Convinced myself that I’ll never be happy working for someone else (every time I move jobs to something I truly think will be a “better fit” - it’s worse). I’ve been working on two separate side businesses and can’t get either to start making money. I feel stuck and I don’t *want* to be content with the job I have - I want to finally be free.

Thank you.Today I was reminded of this as I have some challenges at work.The Lord reminded me that where I am now is where He wants me.I am glad I fell on your video!

For me it was Matthew 6:33....seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. When I hit the lowest point in my life I just sought God and nothing else, I gave up on seeking things and all I wanted was His constant presence. This changed my perspective on EVERYTHING I thought I knew and I just found great comfort in all I did have and this was when I found and experienced joy and peace for the first time in my life. The trials were still there but it did not matter anymore because I had Jesus right there with me. It's been 5 years since I hid that Word in heart and carried it around my neck like fine pearls and I tell you God has just been so faithful to me that I am gobsmacked each and every day. He is literally pouring into me and I don't have enough room to contain it. I love our Heavenly Father so much

For over a year now, I’ve had a lot of pain introduced into my life on all fronts (Mentally, Physically, Emotionally, and even Spiritually), and it seems to have ramped up of late. At times it has gotten so bad that I’ve been begging God to back off, even a little. However, of late, the Holy Spirit has provided me with moments of great Clarity and Peace, breaks in the clouds, that have allowed me to realize that God is not only NOT ignoring me, he’s kneading me, like dough, to bring into being a far greater version of myself than my limited perspective could possibly hope to imagine. Even as I type this my physical pain is receding. I expect it’ll be temporary, but I feel it’s the Holy Spirit working in me. God has recently dropped the Book of Job into my life; it’ll be recommended reading on the various Scripture sites I frequent, and I’ll hear random references to it on TV or radio. This video popping into my feed is just further confirmation that God not just HEARS me, but He’s SPEAKING to me. I just need to listen. So, Thank You for putting out this video. I’m clearly not alone.

WOW. What a blessing. I've been trying my best to keep the mindset of contentment. When I start to complain or think about my situation, I shut up and look around and realize I'm blessed. I know things will get better and trouble won't last always. God has His devine timing and when He remembers us all, it will all be worth it! I'm assured that He is working behind the scenes for all of us. Thank you for such a simple, yet timely word. It blessed alot of people including myself!! 🙏🙌

Hi Jereme, You are right Godly contentment is rough to grasp, it took me about 42 years of my life to finally get it. Stop trying to escape instead be content in the life journey I learn there no getting away from one own self wherever you go you are there it is overcoming being thankful and praise the Lord whatever you and your wife is living inside your feelings I got it finally to kept thinking I was supposed to go somewhere else especially when it is God's will to stay where you are at. whether a job a community and church and the people around you that where you belong otherwise God put you somewhere else. It easy to misunderstand what the holy bible telling us especially when we want something else, or it is not happening fast enough. Thank you, for sharing your life as you grow in the knowledge and grace of Jesus Christ along your life journey.

This is amazing topic. I have come attached to your topics. I remember one time I was struggling with debts and things seemed to never getting better. However, I realized that I have to first be contented with what God has given me First, embrace it, love it and make most out of it. The Lord has been gracious since the day I started my own Job. Things have worked for me because of God's goodness.

I've been meaning to check out this video, it's been popping up periodically. Thank you Jereme for taking the time to talk about this. I love and appreciate biblical perspectives.

Make a whole lot of sense. I remember when I had a job I prayed for and how when I left I was complaining about leaving and left. But my perspective has changed because in that season I prayed for that job, God did provide and it was a blessing in that season of my life. So I should be grateful for the opportunity. And I see now how those skills have helped me where I am even though I’m no longer there. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks brother , this is a good recommendation for my time in my life . I love that I am on this way , I’ve looked at work always as it is the very thing allowing me to live the life I want .. now with being caught up everything outside of ones self it’s easy to forget or not know the vocabulary of gratitude but I shifted mine when I started working again a couple months back, I don’t dislike my work it’s mainly what you said environment but hey I can control what I can and can’t control what I can’t . Grateful to wake up to be able to see the sun 💯

One thing I did learn from my parents and others, that every missions, goals, or pursuing anything, you will always need funding/fuel. It cost a lot more to have a big dreams compare to a small dream. Thank you for sharing.

I feel so blessed to have seen this! I’m in just about the EXACT same situation as you were and I’ve been stressing for months about my job, and I’ve never searched any KZread videos on this topic, but somehow by God yours managed to show up in my recommended!! I absolutely needed to hear that, thank you so much sir! God Bless!!🙏🏻

This is it. I don’t like my current job but I do believe that God blessed me with this job, for the same reasons that you’ve stated: to be grateful in my season, to better manage my finances and time. This isn’t to say that I haven’t been grateful but moreso of just packing up and leaving when something isn’t right because it’s rubbing me the wrong way. It’s time to get even closer to the Holy Trinity. Thank you for being obedient.

Thank you Jereme, I've been in my first Job out of university for 4 months now and I've been miserable for a while and I've been looking for a way out to a different Job telling myself it's not for me but I know God has placed me here for a specific reason/purpose because I prayed for a Job when I was unemployed and He provided it for me. I still struggle with the being happy part but the "Godliness and contentment" you shared enlightened me. Bless you brother.

This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thank you for letting God use you to speak to people who need it.

This makes a LOT of sense. Going through the toxic craziness at my job. I needed this

Was in the same situation as you described. I was full of anxiety, troubled in my spirit. I wanted to quit my job and go to university and get a higher education when I heard a voice inside me saying stay at this place where you are no matter how hard it gets. I have plans for you. Now I look back and understand this was actually better for my spiritual growth and was able to save money and invest it. I am now God willing close to a state where I may not have to work within the next five years. As the bible says god works for the good of those who trust in him.

I just finished praying about asking God to help me get out of my current situation in my job then it just happened that this video showed up. Maybe God revealed this to me. Thanks brother! 😇

Deep. Learning about contentment as well. "I can do all things (or I can be content in every situation) in Christ who gives me strength." Thanks for sharing.

This message was perfect!! Thank You for sharing. So often we need reminders when we find ourselves dissatisfied with where we are in life and a dim vision of where we are going. The word of God brings clarity & understanding. To grow in contentment is to operate in Godly wisdom.

If you are content it means you have enough, you do not need more. I interpret this as you are not “needy”. You can be rich and have a lot of money, but if you are still looking to get more money - you are “needy”. And you can be poor and live from paycheck to paycheck, but if you are content with what you have- you are happy. So, yes, Jeremy! You nailed it down- the secret of how to be happy is to be content! Norwegian poet Arne Garborg said that with money “you can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep; knowledge, but not wisdom; glitter, but not beauty; splendor, but not warmth; fun, but not joy; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not faithfulness.” The Bible warns that “the LOVE of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have . . . stabbed themselves all over with many pains.”-1 Timothy 6:10.

My heart goes out to all who are in employment situations that are burdensome, I know, how that feels. But as a Christian, think of who you are in Christ. Other people can have it made in this life, but to have come to Christ is your greatest treasure, for God has chosen you to be one of His, and many people in life will not have received this greatest of graces. Look at the people that you work with, God has you there to be His witness and to touch Christless people with the gospel. Pray for them, maybe ask them to come to church with you, etc. Remember, their real problem is that they will find themselves on the wrong side of God someday, if someone does not intercede for them. Pray too about your situation, that God would help you to find employment that suits you better, but either way do not forget that you belong to Christ, may you glory in that, for he has made you rich. Find a good solid biblical church to worship, learn and fellowship in.

Attitude of gratitude for all God’s gifts opens the heart and quiets the mind.

Amen! Thank you! We have lived below our means since starting our family and tithed, minimized our debt until we paid all off, including our modest house mortgage. God has blessed us tremendously and where I work, most people complain but I always tell others “I love my job.” It’s a place for me to love and encourage others. I’ll know when God opens other doors. It’s a wonderful journey at the Lord walks every step with us. Praise God for His faithfulness 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌

wow this video is amazing and so timely. I'm handing in my notice on Monday because this season is over. but for the entire 2021 my prayers have changed from 'God i want, to God thank you' and I've found peace and joy in resting in the truth the God is sovereign and he is my strength. I feel this way whether rich or poor. I feel extremely full, I realised God is more. And nothing else really matter without him. He will always take care of us. so we must be thankful work as though unto him and be glad until its our time to move on to something else or even if he wants us to stay there.

This is how we begin to value peace, love and sound mind! The fruits of the Holy Spirit that our Heavenly Father gives us for free! It can cost us a lot when we don’t have value for it and I thank God for the season where I learned to value it the most. I value Gods fruit over having lots of tangible stuff that I can’t take with me whenever I leave this earth. Lord thank you for your peace, which helps me be thankful for everything that you do because without you none of this would be possible 🙏

Thanks Jeremy, i am a witness to that great message. When you live that message and decide to remain there. You discover real happiness and every good thing that happen in your life turns to a miracle! It is a hidden wisdom!👌

This is so true. So many complaining about their jobs. If we work at it, there are always more opportunities. God is our Heavenly Father and wants good stuff for us, and the more obedient we are, the more faithful we are, the more we focus on God's will, we can become better stewards in the process and be content. Those of us in the USA almost have it worse because we are so jaded to go after gains of this world when the real prize is in eternity. Bible teaches us that God will supply all our needs, even more so when we seek His Kingdom first. Paul also writes we should mind our own business so that we don't need to rely on others (Paul was a tent maker at one point). Good stuff thank you for sharing.

God is so great! I never blame him for his ways and reasons. I have strong faith in him! He has helped me understanding the rat race early, the corrupted school system, and be more grateful this year due to the pandemic, also he saved & free me from my sins and has healed me & my family from COVID. He made me new! Praise God, praise God almighty! Amen! 🙏🏼✨🙌🏼❤️

Wow! This popped up in my feed and it was right on time. God led me to this video because I'm struggling with this very situation right now. I'm reminded of a sermon my childhood Pastor did once called, "You Must Make the Choice to be Happy".

I like this, sounds like a discussion between friends and easy to understand and so helpful. Thank you

I am bawling right now! I'm 52 yrs old and in a job that I don't want to do anymore. I thought I was grateful. I am certainly not content. Thank you so much for this. I will be meditating on God's Word.

This was an edifying message! Thanks for sharing it. I believe this principle applies to all aspects of our lives- finances, relationships, mental and physical health, etc. Thanks for the reminder to be content in whatever season God has me in and that it’s a journey not a destination. That helps change my perspective into, “what could God be teaching me or refining in me?” even when things are hard to bear.

Oh wow I feel super blessed to have come across this video. This really resonated with me in my spirit. Thank you very much for providing the scriptures that helped you get through the tough feelings you felt. I really needed to hear these scriptures during this season I am in. May the Lord bless you. 🙏

This is right on time! Not a coincidence this was in my recommendations...Thank you! I felt the Lord place this is my Spirit but your teaching just made the Word sweeter.

Thank you for letting Him use you! I needed this so much. I am in a VERY similar situation and I asked God for direction, and here you go 😇. I have a great job that has given me the time and flexibility to go back to school and yet I was feeling like I needed to go to a job that better aligned with my aspirations. Totally not the case! Thank you Lord for your goodness 😩

My father told me one day that he and my mother were "rich" . He wasn't wealthy but they were happy, content, God continuously blessed them, protected them, sent people into their lives for a season ( where they were used by God to bless my p arents). So much more also. Point being when God is your Father...He takes great care of you and you are "rich" indeed. God is our peace and He loves ❤ us. You can always, always know that life in Him is abundance " spiritually " ...I absolutely love being His child. 😍💗

This is a constant battle to live that principle, I know it is currently for myself. Thanks for sharing.

Same here mate, same here..

You have put into words everything God has been trying to reach me on. Thank you so much!

What you said goes alone with what my church is doing " 30 days in November of an attitude of gratitude", I see how God is working, thank you for reaching out today and clarification on Thankfulness and appreciation on what I have..

I am living my life by this principle for so many years.. that I am happy, happier than a lot of people around me...my friends, my family. I just feel content, peaceful and sometimes even free.

Pretty refreshing sharing a biblical principle in your video. You have probably done this before, but being new the channel, this is first time that I've heard it. Thank you for quoting beyond Psalms and Proverbs. The scriptures at Timothy and Philip are an excellent meditation that I've often glossed over. Understandably your helpful video will focus on building a frugal and happy life which is important during these challenging times. But I appreciate the Word on occasion. Good work connecting your ministry with your personal finance help.

Lol never got that compliment before. Just sharing Gods work in my life.

I can do all things through Christ ! Amen! I have been going through a tough season with my career and finances and I’m glad that I have been shown this video! I always ask GOD to show me and give me clear direction but this video was that for me! I will be patient and take it one day at a time! Thank you Lord!

I just literally looked around my room and to the roof to check if somebody is spying on me, because less than 30 mins ago I had just taken out a calculator and went through all the debts I need to settle, also feeling so left behind and just incompetent and I started getting so overly stressed. I took out my journal and started writing about this very moment in order to get back to it when I am finally free from all of this. And then BOOM, just after refreshing. My KZread tab here is the video right at the top! wow! Thanks for sharing this message man. From SA 🇿🇦

Wow! Did I need to hear this! Thank you for reminding me how God worked with me to give me peace & not in my life. I'm not gonna go into detail but I've let things go so bad 😥 I need God always & really need to get back to where I was in my walk with God & have that peace & not again ! Thank you for waking me up 😉

Now that is wisdom! Thank you for the lesson. You're a good teacher.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks!

Timely for me as well and I’m 53. It’s easy to become complacent and impatient wanting more. But, there’s a lot to be grateful for right in front of my eyes at this season of my life. Thank you for the reminder.

Son, very good of you and your word in this video. As you mentioned in your video, focus your eyes on the Lord and he will sown into you his joy, peace and favour. Continue to learn to lay all burdens upon God and you will find joy that many do never obtain. You will greatly lengthen your life and better more, He will be able to mould and guide you into the life He had planned for you! One thing that I can give you is to ask God to help you have the attributes you aspire to have, such as contentment. There are times He's teaching us to rely on Him to infill us with the attributes He wants us to exhibit.

Great content. Thank you. Just incase anyone else feels like this, we make 70,000 a year. We have 4 children, and thanks to this video, I really am happy. Money isn't everything, we live within our means. Thank you again.

I needed to hear this. I have been skipping this clip every time it popped up because I’ve been feeling like I have heard it all. This is so timely. Thank you Jereme and God richly bless you!

Happy this helped, Claver! God bless bro!

What your saying makes sense I’ve discovers this about 1-2 years ago before Covid… instead of viewing everything as this task understand you are where you vibrationally match and your only reaped in your mind because you limit your self and potential when god has given you everything and even I. Hard times where there is a will there is a way… it’s called paradigm shifting what you did and that was shifting the focus of attention to abundance rather then lack because as god is awareness in us all by the spirit do we reach our freedom and salvation as we recognize the gifts we asked for (good or bad) by spoken word out loud or with in and act on it to attract more of it…

Reminds me of when I had brain surgery and I was put on a goverment support program since I couldn't work. I was in such a rush to get off the support program (because of the stigma assiociated with anyone on it) until it finally clicked with me... The Most High is allowing me to heal AND draw nearer to him, I was in a blessed place.

Lol this is so funny, I’m already practicing all of this. I don’t even have a car right now. But I am beyond grateful for Him.

Beautiful, this is so beautiful..very well said.Few weeks ago I believe the Lord led me to the same conclusion after many weeks of confusion and dissatisfaction but it hit me that many people wish that were in my position,with a job and could pay their bills and put food on the table..

I needed this!! Being pregnant I thought me and my husband shoulda planned this year better before baby. I just qualified as a nurse last year. It has been so challenging to understand this! praise God Almighty some people are praying for my circumstance. I choose to be happy knowing that God has blessed us with a gift of another life and still secure in a job 🙏 amen!!

Good video.. I think most people who are have your struggles.. (and most are) this will be comfort.. Our world today is vastly different than 1st Century Judaea… and our issues aren’t theirs.. and vice versa.. but this has a universal application… It’s not easy to have a God centered life these days.. so I commend you on taking a breath… and seeking God for comfort and exhortation…your young.. and your daily struggles will only get worse and harder.. so it’s important to ground yourself now.. and keep it up.. My final words of encouragement.. Rejoice in the Lord always.. the joy of the Lord is your strength.. (not always easy to apply it) Your are in Gods presence.. your sin isn’t imputed on to you.. you don’t have to wait till after death like it’s taught today.. the most comforting words are these… If God is on my side.. who can be against me.. Think deep about that one..

This was so relevant for me…blessed with a good job to pay off debt, recognizing how I need to be grateful, which is the secret to contentment, right?

Please continue to plant and watering what God placed in your heart and God will do the rest, 1st Corinthians 3:6; this is so valuable, could be difficult to digest at first, but we all need it; thank you, I’m sharing this video with others 🙏

Father God, this is a beautiful reminder to be content with your will for one's life wherever one is, in accordance with 1 timothy 6:5-7, philippians 4:11-13 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!

This video just popped up for me too! I was just thinking about this. Every morning - well almost every morning when I drive to work- this van passes me. It has GOD on the front in large letters. I always take it as a reminder from GOD to breathe and smile. (I discovered then the van is a man called Gerry O Donnell who delivers goods to shops lol... so thank you Gerry for reminding me to think of God as I drive to work!)
